RTTS Game watch altered/removed

[jada855]

I play Franchise mode with player lock

I just played two full games pressing the "O" button after every play trying to justify the money I just spent because I love baseball and MLB The Show Series so much! It was pretty painful!

I don't like to know the ball is coming to me when I am playing SS on defense. I tried the "All" and "Some" setting's while hitting "O" and I had only two natural ground balls hit to me all 9 innings!

Still baffled by this decision as pace is such a huge part of baseball and why would you ever want to fast forward a game that looks so beautiful the announcers get cut off along with all these "new animations!?" when pressing the "O" button.

Someone in some meeting at some point in time at SD studio had to defend this decision at some point. I just can't justify this in anyway and sorry but 0.04% is just not a good enough reason!

I really hope the solution someone posted earlier about the "O" button can be updated in a patch or something similar! Its like removing the in game save feature.

Guess I will try to deal with pressing "O" button for now!

Sincerely

Hurt & Confused I need a HUG! :/

This was just so perfect, I had to pause the game and post this.

Player locked the second hitter in the lineup — David Wright in this case — and played a Franchise game.

Game skipped, as we expect now, from the opening presentation cutscenes right to my first at-bat. (Paraphrasing here, as my laughter has already faded my memory of these quotes.)

Matt Vasgersian: “David Wright steps into the box following that seven pitch at-bat to start tonight’s game.”

Eric Karros: “Yeah and, if he’s smart, and he would’ve taken a good look at each of those pitches.”

*sigh*

Wish I could have, Eric. Wish. I. Could. Have.

I'm still trying to get over the fact they removed the batting practice option in RTTS. Really? Did they have to make room for that Showtime crap? Did the developers ever even play RTTS mode?

They removed a good percentage of the Player Lock and RTTS features. There is a comment earlier in the thread about the game having a million options is not good! But then I look at 2k16 and when they added all the options for My League people loved it because you could control what you want!

Its so funny I was playing MLB 15 earlier this month leading up to the release of MLB 16 and I remember saying to myself man we are so lucky to have all these options to work with player lock to make the game play how we want. Then I found out about this in MLB 16 but had already brought the game!

I guess on the bright side at least they did not completely remove it as I am still hitting "O" to get the full MLB experience with player lock in Franchise mode and trying not to cut off the commentary!

I am handing out virtual hugz for those of us in the 0.04% HUGZ! I have convinced myself that hitting "O" is not that bad! :/

Here is a link to The Show Nation bug report if anyone wants to help vote up this issue! Fielding just feels so scripted now with player lock outside of hitting!

It's bad enough that they had to ruin the offline hitting experience by constantly warping you in and out of the batters box in between pitches.(even on Broadcast) But now having the game fly by, with no easy way to see what has transpired, without skipping through more scenes, I am officially done with RTTS until it get's patched.

From 12 -14, I use to sink hundreds and hundreds out hours into this mode, enjoying the experience, and the game at my own pace. Now I don't want anything to do with it.

I've noticed this too and frankly at this point i don't know anymore what they are doing, it makes no sense at all. Why keep broadcast mode if it doesn't work like, you know... a broadcast mode ? Why all this chat about telemetry if they're reading it in the worst way possibile ? Previously, i skip most of the at bat cutscenes during a game ( not in RTTS ), but i saw all of them during important at bats and when i want to slow down a bit the game flow. If you look at my telemetry, probably i skip 80% of the cutscenes. Ah, let's remove them ! Numbers are nothing if you refuse to read them properly. Resources ? It costs a lot less resources to leave untouched all the things that work well. All the pressure, all this speedup festival they're putting into the game is ruining the whole baseball feeling, especially in mode like RTTS.
